The Holy Spirit/ Comforter (aka Holy Ghost) that Jesus spoke about is clearly a SPIRIT. Why?
Firstly, this spirit abides FOREVER. Now, is Muhammad dead or alive?
John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Secondly, this Holy Spirit reminds the followers of Christ’s teachings. Which includes “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one goes to the Father, but through me”
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Finally, anyone who receives the spirit speaks in tongues!
Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

I agree with all of your points. Unfortunately, not every christian can speak in tongues today, for some reason or another. But in the bible, it seems the only visible manifestation of receiving the holy ghost is tongue speaking because in the book of Acts, Peter admitted one as accepted by God because he saw the person praying in tongues.
Its hard to accept for some and I can understand. I too was skeptical at first, until I started searching and searching and finally, I too could speak in tongues. I suppose we need to pray to God to grant us the comforter.

Well I am with you up until the necessity of tongues thing. The Bible clearly indicates that not all christians who are born again will speak in tongues. I am a born again believer and do not speak in tongues. I don't believe that is supported in the scriptures.
1 Corinthians 12:28 -31
I am with you up to that point though.

What on earth is your point? Please, this isn't even a question. To me it just sounds like preachy babble.
Answer 1: The bible doesn't foretell everything.
Answer 2: Ghost tends to mean spirit.
Answer 3: Muhammed lived hundreds of years ago. He's dead, obviously.

Muhammad is not fortold in the Bible because he isn't important. He was just a prophet. Jesus is the point of the Bible. He is the Messiah that was fortold.
Muhammed is dead. Jesus lives.

if Muhammad is the comforter so how he comfort, i think muhammad will need the holy spirit to comfort him.
Holy spirit is mentioned in Quran
Jesus said that a lot of false teacher will be (muhammad one of them)

Well said!
I just wish that people of the ISLAMIC faith would read the Bible as it is and not misunderstand as they keep on doing.
